Park of famous people of Suha Krajina

The Park of famous people of Suha Krajina is a project with which the work and the life of people who are directly or indirectly connected to the “Suha Krajina” region are permanently celebrated. All of them have left a lasting mark in various fields of activity in this environment or beyond. The memorial is located in the park in front of the municipal building.

The first of the important people from Suha Krajina on the timeline was certainly Andrej Auersperg, who was born in 1557 at the castle in Žužemberk. He was followed by many individuals important for the development or recognition of the place.

Even before films started showing in Slovenia, Hollywood already had Slovenian star actresses. Rozalija Sršen, the first Slovenian film actress in Hollywood with the stage name Zalla Zarana, was born in 1897 under the mighty walls of the old castle and next to the sound of the Krka river, who in 1921 got her first major role in the American film Wheel of Fortune.

I am very happy that we can now show the castle and other attractions to all our family guests and tell them something along the way. Or maybe we should just let them listen to the guides on the phone, who are always on duty. In this way, even us locals were able to learn many new things about our places. Since we are not trained guides and not so good at speaking, I like to play the audio guides and surprise my guests.

I thought that Bled is unique with its castle on a rock and a water motif below it. I must admit that the reflection of your castle in the Krka river is also beautiful and that the scenery of Žužemberk from the river banks is very picturesque. However, I also have to admit that it is much calmer and less noisy there in the summer than here in Bled in the high season. All the more reason for me to run away from my place to yours more often.
